PADI Skills - Clear Mask (full)

[Lesley246]

I think The instructor does well here, I have no idea what people are going on about!

[rhysmadley]

First of all, the hand movements are signalling to his class what he is going to do... if anyone here has taken the course, you would know that you discuss what you will be doing out of the water and say how you will demonstrate each skill... kneeling on the bottom to show the skill in the pool is a standard characteristic of todays scuba classes. it is easier for the instructor to go through the class and keep en eye on them all

[kleinespeer]

No but if your student has air in his or her bcd and takes a deep breath so she can clear her mask after and starts floating, that does not really works as well. 10 is the age that you can start learning to dive.

[D1v3r9]

being negatively buoyant and kneeling on the bottom are not a requirement for mask clearing and should not be part of the demonstration, unless you think your students should all go kneel on the bottom to clear their masks.

OMG

You better take this video offline, before someone important see that rubish - be ashamed for that crap

[offsnotagain]

WTF confusing as hell and I've staffed a few IDC's??. Stick to the paperwork and let the Staff Instructors teach.

[chocolatejunkiexx]

is it possible to learn most of what u need to know about PADI scuba diving by a week, even if you are 13 years old???? plz someone answer me!!

[Nielsosme]

Most of what you need to know is a relative definition. But indeed, you can do the PADI Open Water Diver course when you´re 12 years old. From then on you can dive ´free´ together, under supervision of an adult (father, mother).

[mathewhendery]

@chocolatejunkiexx Yes, you can do it in 2 weekends at some centres- (1 weekend of confined work and 1 of the dives in Open Water.) I spread mine out over 3 weeks and I was 13- one boy on my course was 12, so i'm sure you can do it.

[lukaluka1000]

good

[audiogenetics]

On to the next video, I did not learn a thing here. There was no discription of what the guy was trying to say/do.

[BitchMouth]

I believe he was allowing his mask to fill with water.... and then was removing the water from within the mask.

According to has hand signals that's what I got out of it. Then again, I am a n00b

[Butt3redBr3d]

forget the skill, i just want his fins! those things cost hundreds but apparently they r indestructible and reeli effective

[489327]

not the best demo, a bit too fiddly for me.

[allenpilot]

you're a course director...?

[scubaanddreams]

you get it all wrong, he is demonstrating the "sit on the bottom of the pool" skill...

[xLGxDthKing]

Why did you feel the need to turn a 5 second demonstration into 10 minutes of sign language? If someone didnt know how to clear a mask before this video, then im sure they are still clueless now.

[christian31121974]

LOL :D

[SuiteKingdom]

I'M a sertified scuba diver!! mwhahahahaha

[wildnrgx]

I know that slow pacing is a demonstration quality characteristic, but this demonstration pushes the slow to the extreme.

[dutschlandalek]

it takes so fricken long...

[ext319]

A bit showy, perhaps. How many people have you taught the skill too?

[sparticlebrane]

This is one of the worst mask clearing videos I've ever seen...ever.

WTF is with all the stupid hand motion? Just clear the mask already. Stop being so showy.
